I'm in Albany! I don't belong to a support group though. I believe there is one around though that meets at St Peter's Hospital. The last time I tried to get more info, the email address I had was no longer active. I'll look again and post/message you with what I find. :)

Hi Kim. I am not in NY, but I work for a company that has a manufacturing plant in Waterford and know some people there. The more I am on this message board the more I realize what a small world this is!

Hi Kim...I am a member of the St. Peter's Support Group. I unfortunately do not go to meetings very often. Everyone is really great there. They have a lot of information about every aspect of Celiac Disease. They always have yummy foods to try and lots of samples. It's definitely worth the trip! use Doctor Samuels in Albany as my GI and Vanessa Denning at Albany Clinical Nutrition is my nutritionist. I must say that Dr. Denning is totally awesome and I HIGHLY recommend her. She monitors all of my nutrition issues and bone density issues. No other doctor has had the understanding of the broad range of issues associated with celiac disease as she has. Good luck with everything! Let me know if you find any gluten free dining hot spots in the area, so far I haven't had much luck.

Hi Kim

(and everyone else)

I'm new here, too. I live just outside Saratoga Springs in Greenfield and have just been diagnosed with Celiac Disease. I am also 34. Wow -look how much we have in common already!

I use Dr. Bauer. His office is in Wilton and he works out of Glens Falls Hospital.

I haven't seen a dietician yet, but that is my next step. Besides Celiac, I also have Diverticulitis which is another disease where you have to eliminate certain foods from your diet. I really need someone to tell me what to eat!

Albany is a bit of a hike for me, but the St. Peters group sounds like something I might want to try.

nothungry, I know the health food store in Saratoga Springs called Four Seasons has a restaurant. I cannot say whether they serve gluten free food but I know they sell a decent selection ( well.. maybe an OK selection) of gluten-free products.

I will be checking in the next few days whether they serve gluten-free meals. I'll post when I find out.

I wouldn't mind checking out one of the meetings at St Peters. Do you know when the next one is? I was diagnosed by Dr Puleo (JR) but I wasn't thrilled with my follow up care with him.

      Hello everyone. I am Elena and am 38 years old. I suspect I have a gluten intolerance even if my celiac panel is ok. I have the following symptoms : facial flushing, Red dots not bumps în face, bloating abdominal distension, hair loss, depression anxiety even with meds and even bipolar. Fatigue extreme to the point of not being able to work. All of these after I eat gluten. Could I have non celiac gluten sensitivity? Thanks anyone else with these symptoms?

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:
